Grading Jets' 2013 draft class, 3 years in

They say it takes three seasons to fully and accurately assess an NFL Draft class. With that in mind, how has the Jets' 2013 class turned out so far? It was the first of two drafts for now former Jets general manager John Idzik. With ample time to offer an assessment, let's grade his picks.

CB Dee Milliner

Draft status: first round, 9th overall, out of Alabama

NFL accomplishments: Not a whole lot. His career has been significantly impacted by injuries. Through three seasons, he has played in just 21 of 48 possible games, with 14 starts. He played in five games (zero starts) in 2015. He did not play a single defensive snap in 2015. He has three career interceptions, all of which came in the final two games of his rookie year.

CB Dee Milliner

Grade: F

Future outlook: If the Jets cut corner Antonio Cromartie this offseason, Milliner could compete with Marcus Williams for the starting spot opposite Darrelle Revis in 2016. That is the last year of Milliner's rookie contract, though the Jets could pick up his fifth-year option this spring, because it wouldn't become fully guaranteed until March of 2017. It seems unlikely that the Jets would cut Milliner before this coming season. His salary cap figure is $4 million, but so is his dead money number. It's clear that Milliner has not worked out so far. He needs to stay healthy, to at least give himself a chance.

DE Sheldon Richardson

Draft status: first round, 13th overall, out of Missouri

NFL accomplishments: He was the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2013 and a Pro Bowl selection in 2014. But repeated positive marijuana tests resulted in the NFL suspending him for the first four games of 2015. And a July 2015 high-speed chase arrest could result in an additional suspension in 2016. He is a fantastic player, with 16.5 career sacks — 3.5 in 2013, eight in 2014, and five in 2015 (in 11 games). But he needs to show the Jets they can trust him. There are no questions about his on-field ability, though.

DE Sheldon Richardson

Grade: A-

Future outlook: If he can make better off-field decisions going forward, Richardson could have a long and prolific NFL career. Expect the Jets to pick up the fifth-year option in Richardson's contract, which would keep him with the team through at least 2017, and set up long-term/lucrative contract negotiations for next summer. In the meantime, the Jets will continue to get Richardson for cheap in 2016 — a $3.1 million salary cap hit.
